Pergolas & Gazebosergolas vs Gazebos
Pergolas by design are meant to provide the enjoyment of sunshine dappled with the comfort of shade. The roofs are rafters of latticed woodwork supporting crossed over beams. The partially open roof is supported by colonnade-style pillars or columns. Gazebos are more elaborate in style, often hexagonal, octagonal or round and since the 19th century, a traditional gazebo roof features a dome-style roof for a beautiful cathedral ambiance. Similarly to modern pergolas, gazebos are also supported with posts, pillars, or columns. The Pergola Roof The element that essentially defines a pergola is the top cover. Pergolas are classified primarily by the openness of a latticed roof that allows the sun to shine through. However, here is where it gets vaguer - pergolas can also have a fully covered roof.

Similar to dance, music, painting, and sculpture, the aesthetic effect of fine architecture can transcend to spiritual levels.

This is to emulate the great vaulted dome arched cathedrals throughout the world to evoke the presence of a higher spiritual being. It also adds a timeless style, peace, tranquility, and elegance to any outdoor garden or patio.
